Delricco | April 9, 1996 |
A fishing lure has a wire portion formed into two loops arranged side-by-side, an extension extending forwardly from the loops, and an extension extending rearwardly from the loops. A hook is fastened to the rearward extension. Movement of the rearward extension relative to the forward extension causes at least one of the loops to expand in diameter. A body having a generally spherical portion is held between the two loops. Enlargement of the loops permits the body to be removed and exchanged for another body, such as of a different color, size and/or shape. Quick change of the bodies is thereby possible.
